FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to inhibitors of 11β-hydroxysteroiddehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), pharmaceutical compositions thereof andmethods of using the same.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Glucocorticoids, such as cortisol (hydrocortisone), are steroid hormonesthat regulate fat metabolism, function and distribution, and play a rolein carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Glucocorticoids are alsoknown to have physiological effects on development, neurobiology,inflammation, blood pressure, metabolism, and programmed cell death.Cortisol and other corticosteroids bind both the glucocorticoid receptor(GR) and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), which are members of thenuclear hormone receptor superfamily and have been shown to mediatecortisol function in vivo. These receptors directly modulatetranscription via DNA-binding zinc finger domains and transcriptionalactivation domains.

Until recently, the major determinants of glucocorticoid action wereattributed to three primary factors: (1) circulating levels ofglucocorticoid (driven primarily by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal(HPA) axis); (2) protein binding of glucocorticoids in circulation; and(3) intracellular receptor density inside target tissues. Recently, afourth determinant of glucocorticoid function has been identified:tissue-specific pre-receptor metabolism by glucocorticoid-activating and-inactivating enzymes. These 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD)pre-receptor control enzymes modulate activation of GR and MR byregulation of glucocorticoid hormones. To date, two distinct isozymes of11-beta-HSD have been cloned and characterized: 11β-HSD1 (also known as11-beta-HSD type 1, 11betaHSD1, HSD11B1, HDL, and HSD11L) and 11β-HSD2.11β-HSD1 is a bi-directional oxidoreductase that regenerates activecortisol from inactive 11-keto forms, whereas 11β-HSD2 is aunidirectional dehydrogenase that inactivates biologically activecortisol by converting it into cortisone.

The two isoforms are expressed in a distinct tissue-specific fashion,consistent with the differences in their physiological roles. 11β-HSD1is widely distributed in rat and human tissues; expression of the enzymeand corresponding mRNA have been detected in human liver, adiposetissue, lung, testis, bone and ciliary epithelium. In adipose tissue,increased cortisol concentrations stimulate adipocyte differentiationand may play a role in promoting visceral obesity. In the eye, 11β-HSD1may regulate intraocular pressure and may contribute to glaucoma; somedata suggest that inhibition of 11β-HSD1 may cause a drop in intraocularpressure in patients with intraocular hypertension (Kotelevstev et al.(1997), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94(26):14924-9). Although 11β-HSD1catalyzes both 11-beta-dehydrogenation and the reverse 11-oxoreductionreaction, 11β-HSD1 acts predominantly as a NADPH-dependent oxoreductasein intact cells and tissues, catalyzing the formation of active cortisolfrom inert cortisone (Low et al. (1994) J. Mol. Endocrin. 13: 167-174).In contradistinction, 11β-HSD2 expression is found mainly inmineralocorticoid target tissues such as kidney (cortex and medulla),placenta, sigmoid and rectal colon, salivary gland and colonicepithelial cell lines. 11β-HSD2 acts as an NAD-dependent dehydrogenasecatalyzing the inactivation of cortisol to cortisone (Albiston et al.(1994) Mol. Cell. Endocrin. 105: R11-R17), and has been shown to protectthe MR from glucocorticoid excess (e.g., high levels of receptor-activecortisol) (Blum, et al. (2003) Prog. Nucl. Acid Res. Mol. Biol.75:173-216).

Mutations in either the 11β-HSD1 or the 11β-HSD2 genes result in humanpathology. For example, individuals with mutations in 11β-HSD2 aredeficient in this cortisol-inactivation activity and, as a result,present with a syndrome of apparent mineralocorticoid excess (alsoreferred to as ‘SAME’) characterized by hypertension, hypokalernia, andsodium retention (Edwards et al. (1988) Lancet 2: 986-989; Wilson et al.(1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 95: 10200-10205). Similarly, mutations in11β-HSD1 and in the gene encoding a co-localized NADPH-generatingenzyme, hexose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PD), can result in cortisonereductase deficiency (CRD); these individuals present with ACTH-mediatedandrogen excess (hirsutism, menstrual irregularity, hyperandrogenism), aphenotype resembling polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (Draper et al.(2003) Nat. Genet. 34: 434-439).

Notably, disruption of homeostasis in the HPA axis by either deficientor excess secretion or action results in Cushing's syndrome or Addison'sdisease, respectively (Miller and Chrousos (2001) Endocrinology andMetabolism, eds. Felig and Frohman (McGraw-Hill, New York), 4^(th) Ed.:387-524). Patients with Cushing's syndrome or receiving glucocorticoidtherapy develop reversible visceral fat obesity. The phenotype ofCushing's syndrome patients closely resembles that of Reaven's metabolicsyndrome (also known as Syndrome X or insulin resistance syndrome), thesymptoms of which include visceral obesity, glucose intolerance, insulinresistance, hypertension, type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia (Reaven(1993) Ann. Rev. Med. 44: 121-131). Although the role of glucocorticoidsin human obesity is not fully characterized, there is mounting evidencethat 11β-HSD1 activity plays an important role in obesity and metabolicsyndrome (Bujalska et al. (1997) Lancet 349: 1210-1213); (Livingstone etal. (2000) Endocrinology 131: 560-563; Rask et al. (2001) J. Clin.Endocrinol. Metab. 86: 1418-1421; Lindsay et al. (2003) J. Clin.Endocrinol. Metab. 88: 2738-2744; Wake et al. (2003) J. Clin.Endocrinol. Metab. 88: 3983-3988).

Data from studies in mouse transgenic models supports the hypothesisthat adipocyte 11β-HSD1 activity plays a central role in visceralobesity and metabolic syndrome (Alberts et al. (2002) Diabetologia.45(11): 1526-32). Over-expression in adipose tissue of 11β-HSD1 underthe control of the aP2 promoter in transgenic mice produced a phenotyperemarkably similar to human metabolic syndrome (Masuzaki et al. (2001)Science 294: 2166-2170; Masuzaki et al. (2003) J. Clinical Invest. 112:83-90). Moreover, the increased activity of 11β-HSD1 in these mice isvery similar to that observed in human obesity (Rask et al. (2001) J.Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 86: 1418-1421). In addition, data from studieswith 11β-HSD1-deficient mice produced by homologous recombinationdemonstrate that the loss of 11β-HSD1 leads to an increase in insulinsensitivity and glucose tolerance due to a tissue-specific deficiency inactive glucocorticoid levels (Kotelevstev et al. (1997) Proc. Natl.Acad. Sci. 94: 14924-14929; Morton et al. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276:41293-41300; Morton et al. (2004) Diabetes 53: 931-938).

The published data supports the hypothesis that increased expression of11β-HSD1 contributes to increased local conversion of cortisone tocortisol in adipose tissue and hence that 11β-HSD1 plays a role in thepathogenesis of central obesity and the appearance of the metabolicsyndrome in humans (Engeli, et al., (2004) Obes. Res. 12: 9-17).Therefore, 11β-HSD1 is a promising pharmaceutical target for thetreatment of the metabolic syndrome (Masuzaki, et al., (2003) Curr. DrugTargets Immune Endocr. Metabol. Disord. 3: 255-62). Furthermore,inhibition of 11β-HSD1 activity may prove beneficial in treatingnumerous glucocorticoid-related disorders. For example, 11β-HSD1inhibitors could be effective in combating obesity and/or aspects of themetabolic syndrome cluster, including glucose intolerance, insulinresistance, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and/or hyperlipidemia(Kotelevstev et al. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 94: 14924-14929;Morton et al. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276: 41293-41300; Morton et al.(2004) Diabetes 53: 931-938). In addition, inhibition of 11β-HSD1activity may have beneficial effects on the pancreas, including theenhancement of glucose-stimulated insulin release (Billaudel and Sutter(1979) Horm. Metab. Res. 11: 555-560; Ogawa et al. (1992) J. Clin.Invest. 90: 497-504; Davani et al. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275:34841-34844).

Furthermore, given that inter-individual differences in generalcognitive function have been linked to variability in the long-termexposure to glucocorticoids (Lupien et al. (1998) Nat. Neurosci. 1:69-73) and dysregulation of the HPA axis resulting in chronic exposureto glucocorticoid excess in certain brain subregions has been theorizedto contribute to the decline of cognitive function (McEwen and Sapolsky(1995) Curr. Opin. Neurobiol. 5: 205-216), one might predict thatinhibition of 11β-HSD1 could reduce exposure to glucocorticoids in thebrain and thereby protect against deleterious glucocorticoid effects onneuronal function, including cognitive impairment, dementia, and/ordepression. Notably, it is known that stress and glucocorticoidsinfluence cognitive function (de Quervain et al. (1998) Nature 394:787-790); and it has been shown that 11β-HSD1, through its control ofglucocorticoid action in the brain, may have effects on neurotoxicity(Rajan et al. (1996) Neuroscience 16: 65-70; Seckl (2000)Neuroendocrinol. 18:49-99).

There is also evidence that glucocorticoids and 11β-HSD1 play a role inregulation of in intra-ocular pressure (IOP) (Stokes et al. (2000)Invest. Opthalmol. Vis. Sci. 41: 1629-1683; Rauz et al. (2001) Invest.Opthalmol. Vis. Sci. 42: 2037-2042); if left untreated, elevated IOP canlead to partial visual field loss and eventually blindness. Thus,inhibition of 11β-HSD1 in the eye could reduce local glucocorticoidconcentrations and IOP, and 11β-HSD1 hence could potentially be used totreat glaucoma and other visual disorders.

Transgenic aP2-11βHSD1 mice exhibit high arterial blood pressure andhave increased sensitivity to dietary salt. Moreover, plasmaangiotensinogen levels are elevated in the transgenic mice, as areangiotensin II and aldosterone; and treatment of the mice with anangiotensin II antagonist alleviates the hypertension (Masuzaki et al.(2003) J. Clinical Invest. 112: 83-90). This suggests that hypertensionmay be caused or exacerbated by 11β-HSD1 activity. Thus, 11β-HSD1inhibitors may be useful for treatment of hypertension andhypertension-related cardiovascular disorders. Inhibition of 11β-HSD1 inmature adipocytes is also expected to attenuate secretion of plasminogenactivator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), which is an independent cardiovascularrisk factor (Halleux et al. (1999) J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metabl. 84:4097-4105).

Glucocorticoids can have adverse effects on skeletal tissues; andprolonged exposure to even moderate glucocorticoid doses can result inosteoporosis (Cannalis (1996) J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 81:3441-3447). In addition, 11β-HSD1 has been shown to be present incultures of human primary osteoblasts as well as cells from adult bone(Cooper et al. (2000) Bone 27: 375-381), and the 11β-HSD1 inhibitorcarbenoxolone has been shown to attenuate the negative effects ofglucocorticoids on bone nodule formation (Bellows et al. (1998) Bone 23:119-125). Thus, inhibition of 11β-HSD1 is predicted to decrease thelocal glucocorticoid concentration within osteoblasts and osteoclasts,thereby producing beneficial effects in various forms of bone disease,including osteoporosis.

11β-HSD1 inhibitors may also be useful for immunomodulation. Althoughglucocorticoids are perceived to suppress the immune system, inactuality, there is a complex, dynamic interaction between the HPA axisand the immune system (Rook (1999) Baillier's Clin. Endocrinol. Metabl.13: 576-581). Glucocorticoids play a role in modulating the balancebetween cell-mediated and humoral immune response, with highglucocorticoid activity normally associated with a humoral response.Inhibition of 11β-HSD1 therefore can be used a means of shifting theimmune response towards a cell-mediated response. Certain diseasestates, such as tuberculosis, leprosy (Hansen's disease) and psoriasis,trigger immune responses that are biased towards a humoral responsewhereas the more effective immune response may be a cell-mediatedresponse. Hence, 11β-HSD1 inhibitors may be useful for treating suchdiseases.

It has been reported that glucocorticoids inhibit wound healing,especially in diabetic patients with ulcers (Bitar et al. (1999) J.Surg. Res. 82: 234-243; Bitar et al. (1999) Surgery 125: 594-601; Bitar(2000) Surgery 127: 687-695; Bitar (1998) Am. J. Pathol. 152: 547-554).Patients that exhibit impaired glucose tolerance and/or type 2 diabetesoften also have impaired wound healing. Glucocorticoids have been shownto increase the risk of infection and delay wound healing (Anstead(1998) Adv. Wound Care 11:277-285). Moreover, there is a correlationbetween elevated levels of cortisol in wound fluid and non-healingwounds (EP Patent App. No. 0 902 288). Recent published patentapplications have suggested that certain 11β-HSD1 inhibitors may beuseful for promoting wound healing (PCT/US2006/043,951).

Typically, the subject isa human in need of treatment.

When a disclosed compound or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt isnamed or depicted by structure, it is to be understood that solvates orhydrates of the compound or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts arealso included. “Solvates” refer to crystalline forms wherein solventmolecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice duringcrystallization. Solvate may include water or nonaqueous solvents suchas ethanol, isopropanol, DMSO, acetic acid, ethanolamine, and EtOAc.Solvates, wherein water is the solvent molecule incorporated into thecrystal lattice, are typically referred to as “hydrates.” Hydratesinclude stoichiometric hydrates as well as compositions containingvariable amounts of water. Some of the compounds disclosed in theexemplification may be in the anhydrous form.

The term “compound” also includes labeling at one or more positions withdeuterium. “Labeled with deuterium at a position” means that the amountdeuterium at the position is greater than the amount that is present atnatural abundance.

Certain of the disclosed compounds may exist in various stereoisomericforms. Stereoisomers are compounds that differ only in their spatialarrangement. Enantiomers are pairs of stereoisomers whose mirror imagesare not superimposable, most commonly because they contain anasymmetrically substituted carbon atom that acts as a chiral center.“Enantiomer” means one of a pair of molecules that are mirror images ofeach other and are not superimposable. Diastereomers are stereoisomersthat are not related as mirror images, most commonly because theycontain two or more asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms. The symbol“*” in a structural formula represents the presence of a chiral carboncenter. “R” and “S” represent the configuration of substituents aroundone or more chiral carbon atoms. Thus, “R*” and “S*” denote the relativeconfigurations of substituents around one or more chiral carbon atoms.

“Racemate” or “racemic mixture” means a compound of equimolar quantitiesof two enantiomers, wherein such mixtures exhibit no optical activity;i.e., they do not rotate the plane of polarized light.

“Geometric isomer” means isomers that differ in the orientation ofsubstituent atoms in relationship to a carbon-carbon double bond, to acycloalkyl ring, or to a bridged bicyclic system. Atoms (other than H)on each side of a carbon-carbon double bond may be in an E (substituentsare on opposite sides of the carbon-carbon double bond) or Z(substituents are oriented on the same side) configuration.

“R,” “S,” “S*,” “R*,” “E,” “Z,” “cis,” and “trans,” indicateconfigurations relative to the core molecule.

The compounds of the invention may be prepared as individual isomers byeither isomer-specific synthesis or resolved from an isomeric mixture.Conventional resolution techniques include forming the salt of a freebase of each isomer of an isomeric pair using an optically active acid(followed by fractional crystallization and regeneration of the freebase), forming the salt of the acid form of each isomer of an isomericpair using an optically active amine (followed by fractionalcrystallization and regeneration of the free acid), forming an ester oramide of each of the isomers of an isomeric pair using an optically pureacid, amine or alcohol (followed by chromatographic separation andremoval of the chiral auxiliary), or resolving an isomeric mixture ofeither a starting material or a final product using various well knownchromatographic methods.

When the stereochemistry of a disclosed compound is named or depicted bystructure, the named or depicted stereoisomer is at least 60%, 70%, 80%,90%, 99% or 99.9% by weight pure relative to the other stereoisomers.When a single enantiomer is named or depicted by structure, the depictedor named enantiomer is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% byweight optically pure. Percent optical purity by weight is the ratio ofthe weight of the enantiomer over the weight of the enantiomer plus theweight of its optical isomer.

When a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure withoutindicating the stereochemistry, and the compound has at least one chiralcenter, it is to be understood that the name or structure encompassesone enantiomer of compound free from the corresponding optical isomer, aracemic mixture of the compound and mixtures enriched in one enantiomerrelative to its corresponding optical isomer.

When a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure withoutindicating the stereochemistry and has at least two chiral centers, itis to be understood that the name or structure encompasses adiastereomer free of other diastereomers, a pair of diastereomers freefrom other diastereomeric pairs, mixtures of diastereomers, mixtures ofdiastereomeric pairs, mixtures of diastereomers in which onediastereomer is enriched relative to the other diastereomer(s) andmixtures of diastereomeric pairs in which one diastereomeric pair isenriched relative to the other diastereomeric pair(s).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SYNTHETIC METHODS

Compounds of Formula I* can be prepared by several processes. In thediscussion below, A¹, Cy¹, E, R¹, R², R³, Y and n have the meaningsindicated above unless otherwise noted. Cy² is an optionally substituted2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridyl group. In cases where the syntheticintermediates and final products of Formula I* described below containpotentially reactive functional groups, for example amino, hydroxyl,thiol and carboxylic acid groups, that may interfere with the desiredreaction, it may be advantageous to employ protected forms of theintermediate. Methods for the selection, introduction and subsequentremoval of protecting groups are well known to those skilled in the art.(T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York 1999). Such protecting groupmanipulations are assumed in the discussion below and not describedexplicitly. Generally, reagents in the reaction schemes are used inequimolar amounts; however, in certain cases it may be desirable to usean excess of one reagent to drive a reaction to completion. This isespecially the case when the excess reagent can be readily removed byevaporation or extraction. Bases employed to neutralize HCl in reactionmixtures are generally used in slight to substantial excess (1.05-5equivalents).

In a first process a compound of Formula I*, can be prepared by reactionof an aminoalcohol intermediate of Formula II with a reagent of FormulaIII, wherein Z¹ and Z² are leaving groups such as chloride, 1-imidazolylor aryloxide in an inert solvent such as THF, CH₂Cl₂, toluene or MeCN,usually in the presence of an organic or inorganic base such astriethylamine or NaHCO₃ respectively, at −10° C. to 120° C.:

Certain instances of reagent III are especially convenient because theyare commercially available. For example when Z¹ and Z² are bothchloride, III is phosgene. When Z¹ and Z² are both 1-imidazolyl, III iscarbonyl diimidazole. When Z¹ is chloride and Z² is p-nitrophenoxide,III is p-nitrophenyl chloroformate. When Z¹ and Z² are both OCCl₃, IIIis triphosgene and as little as one third of molar equivalent can beused.

Aminoalcohol intermediates of Formula II can be prepared by reduction ofamides of Formula IV using a hydride reagent such as BH₃.THF solution,BH₃.Me₂S or LiAlH₄ in an inert solvent ethereal such as THF or DME at20° C. to 100° C. for between 1 h and 48 h:

Intermediates of Formula IV can be prepared by coupling of aβ-hydroxyacid of Formula V with an amine of Formula VI using standardpeptide coupling reagents such as EDC in the presence of HOBt andN,N-diisopropylethylamine in an inert solvent such as CH₂Cl₂ at 0-30° C.for between 1 h and 24 h:

Amine intermediates of Formula VI, wherein A¹═CH₂ and R¹ is absent, canbe prepared by reduction of amides of Formula VII using a hydridereagent such as BH₃.THF solution, BH₃.Me₂S or LiAlH₄ in an inert solventethereal such as THF or DME at 20° C. to 100° C. for between 1 h and 48h:

Amine intermediates of Formula VI, wherein A¹ is a bond, R¹ is absentand Cy¹ is not an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring, can be prepared fromketones of formula VIII via oximes of Formula IX or by reductiveamination of a ketone of Formula VIII with ammonia:

High stereoselectivity is often achieved in such reactions using chiralt-butylsulfinylimines.

Intermediates of Formula II, wherein n=0, can be prepared by reaction ofoxetanes of Formula X with amines of Formula VI as described in Smith,M. B. and March, J. “March's Advanced Organic Chemistry” p 505, 5^(th)Edition, Wiley, New York, N.Y., 2001:

Intermediates of Formula II can also be prepared by reductive aminationof β-hydroxyaldehydes of Formula Xa with amines of Formula VI. Methodsfor the reductive amination of aldehydes are described in Baxter, E. W.and Reitz, A. B. “Organic Reactions” Volume 59, Ed. Overman, L. E.,Wiley Interscience, 2002.

BIOLOGICAL TEST EXAMPLE 1

The inhibition of a microsomal preparation of 11β-HSD1 by compounds ofthe invention was measured essentially as previously described (K.Solly, S. S. Mundt, H. J. Zokian, G. J. Ding, A. Hermanowski-Vosatka, B.Strulovici, and W. Zheng, High-Throughput Screening of11-Beta-Hydroxyseroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 in Scintillation ProximityAssay Format. Assay Drug Dev Technol 3 (2005) 377-384). All reactionswere carried out at it in 96 well clear flexible PET Microbeta plates(PerkinElmer). The assay begins by dispensing 49 μl of substratesolution (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 100 mM KCl, 5 mM NaCl, 2 mM MgCl₂, 2 mMNADPH and 160 nM [³H]cortisone (1 Ci/mmol)) and mixing in 1 μL of thetest compounds in DMSO previously diluted in half-log increments (8points) starting at 0.1 mM. After a 10 minute pre-incubation, 50 μL ofenzyme solution containing microsomes isolated from CHO cellsoverexpressing human 11β-HSD1 (10-20 μg/ml of total protein) was added,and the plates were incubated for 90 minutes at rt. The reaction wasstopped by adding 50 μl of the SPA beads suspension containing 10 μM18β-glycyrrhetinic acid, 5 mg/ml protein A coated YSi SPA beads (GEHealthcare) and 3.3 μg/ml of anti-cortisol antibody (East CoastBiologics) in Superblock buffer (Bio-Rad). The plates were shaken for120 minutes at rt, and the SPA signal corresponding to [³H]cortisol wasmeasured on a Microbeta plate reader.

BIOLOGICAL TEST EXAMPLE 2

The inhibition of 11β-HSD1 by compounds of this invention was measuredin whole cells as follows. Cells for the assay were obtained from twosources: fully differentiated human omental adipocytes from Zen-Bio,Inc.; and human omental pre-adipocytes from Lonza Group Ltd.Pre-differentiated omental adipocytes from Zen-Bio Inc. were purchasedin 96-well plates and were used in the assay at least two weeks afterdifferentiation from precursor preadipocytes. Zen-Bio induceddifferentiation of pre-adipocytes by supplementing medium withadipogenic and lipogenic hormones (human insulin, dexamethasone,isobutylmethylxanthine and PPAR-gamma agonist). The cells weremaintained in full adipocyte medium (DMEM/Ham's F-12 (1:1, v/v), HEPESpH 7.4, fetal bovine serum, penicillin, streptomycin and Amphotericin B,supplied by Zen-Bio, Inc.) at 37° C., 5% CO₂.

Pre-adipocytes were purchased from Lonza Group Ltd. and placed inculture in Preadipocyte Growth Medium-2 supplemented with fetal bovineserum, penicillin, and streptomycin (supplied by Lonza) at 37° C., 5%CO₂. Pre-adipocytes were differentiated by the addition of insulin,dexamethasone, indomethacin and isobutyl-methylxanthine (supplied byLonza) to the Preadipocyte Growth Medium-2. Cells were exposed to thedifferentiating factors for 7 days, at which point the cells weredifferentiated and ready for the assay. One day before running theassay, the differentiated omental adipocytes were transferred intoserum- and phenol-red-free medium for overnight incubation. The assaywas performed in a total volume of 200 μL. The cells were pre-incubatedwith serum-free, phenol-red-free medium containing 0.1% (v/v) of DMSOand various concentrations of the test compounds at least 1 h before[³H] cortisone in ethanol (50 Ci/mmol, ARC, Inc.) was added to achieve afinal concentration of cortisone of 100 nM. The cells were incubated for3-4 hrs at 37° C., 5% CO₂. Negative controls were incubated withoutradioactive substrate and received the same amount of [³H] cortisone atthe end of the incubation. Formation of [³H] cortisol was monitored byanalyzing 25 μL of each supernatant in a scintillation proximity assay(SPA). (Solly, K.; Mundt, S. S.; Zokian, H. J.; Ding, G. J.;Hermanowski-Vosatka, A.; Strulovici, B.; Zheng, W. Assay Drug Dev.Technol. 2005, 3, 377-384). Many compounds of the invention showedsignificant activity in this assay.

BIOLOGICAL TEST EXAMPLE 3

In vitro inhibition of 11β-HSD1 by test compounds was determined withHTRF (Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence) technology (cisbiointernational, France) detecting cortisol generated from cortisterone byhuman liver microsomes. Briefly, compounds were incubated for 1 hour at37° C. in Tris buffer (20 mM tris, 5 mM EDTA, pH 6.0) containing NADPH(200 μM) and cortisone (80 nM). Cortisol generated in the reaction wasthen detected with a competitive immunoassay, involving two HTRFconjugates: cortisol linked to XL665 and anti-cortisol antibody labeledwith Europium cryptate. The incubation period for detection reaction wastypically 2 hours. The amount of cortisol was determined by reading thetime-resolved fluorescence of the wells (Ex 320/75 nm; Em 615/8.5 nm and665/7.5 nm). The ratio of the two emission signals was then calculated(Em665*10000/Em615). Each assay contained incubations with vehiclecontrols instead of compound as controls for non-inhibited cortisolgeneration (100% CTL; ‘high values’) and incubations with carbenoxoloneas controls for fully inhibited enzyme and cortisol background (0% CTL;‘values’). Each assay also contained a calibration curve with cortisolto transform the fluorescent data into cortisol concentrations. Percentinhibition of each compound was determined relative to the carbenoxolonesignal.

In following table the 11β-HSD 1 inhibitory activities, determined asdescribed above, wherein 100% indicates no inhibition and a value ofzero or below zero indicates complete inhibition.

BIOLOGICAL TEST EXAMPLE 4

The inhibition of a microsomal preparation of 11β-HSD1 in the presenceof 50% human plasma by compounds of the invention was measured asfollows. Microsomes from CHO cells overexpressing human 11β-HSD1 werediluted into reaction buffer consisting of 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 50 mMKCl, 2.5 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl₂, and 50% (v/v) human plasma (BioChemed).The assay began by dispensing 49 μl of microsome solution into 96-wellpolypropylene plates and adding 1 μl of the test compounds in DMSO,previously diluted in half-log increments (8 points) starting at 1.0 mM.The reaction was initiated with the addition of 50 μl substrate solutionconsisting of reaction buffer with 2 mM NADPH and 160 nM [3-H]cortisone(1 Ci/mmol). The plates were incubated for 120 minutes at rt, and thereaction was quenched with the addition of 100 μl acetonitrile with 20mM cortisone and 20 mM cortisol. After a ten minute incubation at rt,100 μl of each well was filtered through a MultiScreen HTS, HV filterplate (Millipore) and diluted with 100 μl of reaction buffer withouthuman plasma. [3-H]cortisone and [3-H]cortisol were separated by HPLC ona Zorbax SB-C8 column (4.6×250 mm, Agilent) with an isocratic elution at25% acetonitrile in water with 0.01% trifluoroacetic acid, andradioactivity was quantified with an in-line (3-RAM (IN/US Systems,Inc.).

BIOLOGICAL TEST EXAMPLE 5 Fraction Unbound in Human Plasma

Plasma protein binding of compounds was determined with EquilibriumDialysis of spiked plasma against compound free dextrane buffer using adialysis membrane with mass cutoff of 5000 Da. Compound concentrationsin plasma and buffer after incubation were measured using HPLC/Massspectrometry.

BIOLOGICAL TEST EXAMPLE 6 CYP3A4 Inhibition

The assay was based on a method published by Moody et al. (Xenobiotica1999). The inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4-isoenzyme catalysedN-demethylation of [N-methyl-14C]-Erythromycin by the test compound wasassayed at 37° C. with human recombinant cytochrome P450 3A4. All assayswere carried out on a robotic system in 96 well plates. The finalincubation volume of 200 μl contained TRIS buffer (0.1 M), MgCl₂ (5 mM),recombinant protein (40 μmol/ml), Erythromycin (50 μM) and the testcompound either at four different concentrations in duplicate (e.g.highest concentration 10-50 μM with subsequent serial 1:5 dilutions) orat a concentration of 10 μM in triplicate. Following a shortpreincubation period, reactions were started with the cofactor (NADPH, 1mM) and stopped by addition of 50 μl aqueous trichloroacetic acid(10%;w/v). An aliquot of the incubate was transferred to 96 well solidphase extraction (SPE) plates and extracted on the cartridge. Theresultant [14C]-formaldehyde/formic acid was not retained on thecartridge and was therefore separated from the unmetabolized substrateby washing the SPE plates with water. An aliquot of the eluates wastransferred into well plates suitable for liquid scintillation counting.The rate of formation of [¹⁴C]-formaldehyde/formic acid in theseincubations was compared to a control activity containing no testcompound. If the compound was tested at four concentrations,experimental IC₅₀ values were calculated.

Theexperimental IC₅₀ was calculated based on % control at four differentconcentrations.

BIOLOGICAL TEST EXAMPLE 8 CYP2C19 Inhibition

Using a procedure similar to that described in Biological Test Example6, the inhibition of cytochrome P450 2C19-isoenzyme catalysedN-demethylation of [N-methyl -14C]-Diazepam by the test compound wasassayed at 37° C. with human recombinant cytochrome P450 2C19. Theexperimental IC₅₀ was calculated based on control at four differentconcentrations.

BIOLOGICAL TEST EXAMPLE 9 CYP2C9 Inhibition

The inhibition of recombinant CYP2C9 by compounds of the invention wasmeasured using a commercial kit from Invitrogen (cat #2859). Suppliedmicrosomes isolated from insect cells infected with a baculovirusengineered to express human CYP2C9 were diluted to 10 mM in reactionbuffer (100 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 8.0) with an NADPHgeneration system (3.33 mM glucose-6-phosphate and 0.4 U/mlglucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase). 89 μl of this dilution weredispensed to each well of a 96-well, black, polystyrene plate and mixedwith 1 μl of test compound previously diluted in DMSO in half logincrements starting at 3 mM. The assay was initiated by adding 10 μl offluorogenic substrate n-octyloxymethylresorufin (OOMR, 20 μM.) with NADP(100 μM) diluted in reaction buffer. The plate was immediately placed ina Perkin Elmer Fusion plate reader.
